Gov. Chris Christie has helped raise $72 million this year as chair of the Republican Governors Association, a record total that outpaced the Democratic equivalent supporting the elections of state executives.

The Democratic Governors Association has raised $47 million this year, in comparison.

“The RGA’s fundraising strength lends strength to our governors and candidates, putting them in position for victory,” Mr. Christie said in a statement.
